init: allow rootfs symlink removal

On the Nexus 9, init.rc creates the /vendor -> /system/vendor
symlink, then a bit later removes the symlink, creates a
proper directory, and mounts /vendor on the directory.

The current permissive SELinux policy doesn't allow init to
remove the /vendor symlink, which eventually causes the following
errors:

  avc:  denied  { unlink } for  pid=136 comm="init" name="vendor" dev="rootfs" ino=6454 scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:rootfs:s0 tclass=lnk_file permissive=1
  fs_mgr: Failed to mount an un-encryptable or wiped partition on/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/VNR at /vendor options: (null) error: Too many symbolic links encountered

There was an attempt to reorder some of these operations so
we didn't have to create / delete the symlink, but it
doesn't seem to have gone well.
